Suffrage; restore to Tameral Hearn Johnson of DeSoto County.
HB 1938 restores voting rights to Tameral Hearn Johnson of DeSoto County, Mississippi, who was disqualified after a 2015 embezzlement conviction. The bill specifically addresses her disqualification stemming from a one-year Intensive Supervision Program sentence (completed in 2015) and five-year probation (ended December 2020), citing her subsequent law-abiding conduct. It formally reinstates her right to vote under Mississippi law, as she has met all legal requirements following her conviction. This is a personal restoration bill, not a broad policy change.
